South Perkasie School on Main Street when it served as a school.		South Perkasie School today - a private residence at 100 South Main Street.

South Perkasie originally was served by a school on Main Street in Bridgetown. Later another school building was built in Bridgetown (across the street from the school seen above). Eventually the school site on 100 South Main Street was used for a school.

Bridgetown became known as Benjamin in 1887 when the post office was established. When the village of Benjamin (now South Perkasie) was annexed to the Borough of Perkasie in 1898, the Perkasie School Board acquired a two-room school building which was used until 1908 when it was replaced by a larger two-room building. In addition to the classrooms it featured a large basement that could be used for play in bad weather. An organ was installed at the school in December 1905. The school was called Main Street School.

Class at Main Street School circa 1914-1918.		Today the bell tower is still in place; the bell is in the collection of the Perkasie Historical Society in the carousel building.

This building was used as as an elementary school until 1946 when the pupils were transferred to the school at Fifth and Arch Streets (Arch Street School). The building was then purchased by the Brotherhood Lodge; it was used for meetings and social activities until it was purchased for use as a private home.
